Majority of teachers to boycott exam duties
Lahore: January 30: The conduct of Punjab Examination Commission upcoming class-5 annual examination starting from Feb 2 will not be less than a challenge as a majority of schoolteachers have already announced boycotting the examination duties.

The schoolteachers under United Teachers Council (UTC) had recently announced boycotting the PEC exams related duties as a protest against the Punjab government for ignoring their plight vis-à-vis disciplinary action against teachers, imposition of heavy fines, non-upgrade of posts, initiation of inquiries and privatisation of public schools etc.

    Meanwhile, according to PEC some 2.5 million students will appear in class-5 and class-8 examinations for which 12,719 exam centres have been established. As many as 15,772,18 students from public schools while some 743,855 from private schools have registered for both the exams. The class-8 exams are scheduled to commence from Feb 11.

    PEC chief executive officer Nasir Iqbal Malik, when contacted, said only a small section of teachers had announced boycotting the exam duties claiming the majority was supporting the Punjab Examination Commission since they had no issue with the commission.

United Teachers Council senior leader Hafiz Abdul Nasir said the schoolteachers were united vis-à-vis their call of boycotting the exam duties. Meanwhile, the Grand Teachers Alliance announced that directions had been issued to every district vis-à-vis boycott of exam duties and every district would inform the centre about progress with regard to decision on boycotting the exams.The news.
